But the fact remains that although some
Of her associates are good and refined peo-
pie, many Of them arc neither They have
the power to make her life liideous. II is
to be feared that the great virtue Of the
theatrical profession, kindheartedness,
fails and flags when neophyte comes
among them. They are not kind to the
lady who steps on the stage. No peoplc
are SO generous to each other, none keep
their hearts so alive to melting charity,
none show more firmness in adversely,
none are more courageous in a moment Of
danger than actors. Imagine Mrs. Charles
Stevenson, with fire behind her, keeping
a whole theatre quiet while she coura-
geously kept on with her part, in the blind
girl. in ssThe Two Orphanst'' There was
a heroine! They live on the verge of the
heroic, and their business makes them
disdain the commonplace. If they are I'M
kind to the newcomer it Is almost their
only lack of generosity. Imagine the strain
upon them. To march through the dreary
round Of one piece perhaps Tor year. NO
wonder that they want ali their applause,
poor people! it is but a feeble reward for
all that they do.--afrs. john Sherwood.

Twenty millions of dollars in village
does not make that village rich il it is al
owned by two men; but if that amount is
spread evenly oil over the village then it
is different. Money in the hands Of one
or two men is like dungheap in a barn
yard. So long as it lies in a mass it does
no good, but if it was only spread evenly
on the land how everything would growl
Money is like snow. If it is blown into
drifts it blocks up the highway and
nobody can travel, but if it lies evenly
distributed over all tie ground it facili-
tates.every mans travel. Wealth is good
if diffused, but not if boarded. Henry
Ward Beecher.

The RUBY Mines Of purmah.

Owing to the very great jealousy Of the
Burmese government, the ruby mines
have been carefully guarded from all
strangers, and from this cause our knowl-
edge regarding them il very small. The
mines arc said to be only about sixty
miles northeast of Mandalay. The extent
of ground over which the rubies exist has
not been precisely ascertained but 1t Is
believed to extend at least over 100 square
miles.
The ''gem bed, y as il is called, or strata
i'm which the rubies are found, vaRies con-
siderably at different points in its depth.
Pits are sunk down vertically till gem
bed has been touched, and then horizontal
galleries are formed through it. These
strata differ considerably in thickness;
sometimes they are only few inches,
while in others they are found several
feet in depth. The earth of the gem bed
is brought up to the surface, where 1t is
carefully washed and the gems are se-
cured. The most OF the rubies are small,
but large ones do turn up; the difficulty
is to find large ones without a flaw.
The lapidaries or gem polishers are in
the capital and not at the mines. The
polishing process is performed by
pounding the smaller gems and worth
less stones. These are pounded and
mixed with other substances and formed
into cakes about ten inches long and four
wide The good rubies arc rubbed on
this. When the stone has been ground
down roughly ON this fine cake is en-
ployed, and the finishing touch to the gem
Is given by rubbing it ON plates Of brass or
copper.-London News.

No matter where the Chinese go, and no
matter under what form of governments
they are living, they are bound to carry
out their ideas of woman as a marketable
article In Hong Kong under a govern
ment that airs its boast that slavery cam
not exist under the shadows OF its flag,
women are bought and sold every day.
In the British settlement at Shanghai reg
ular auctions Of women are held under
more coldblooded circumstances than
Arab bazars or those slave auctions in the
south. 1t is n part of the system Of the
Chinese, and can no more be erndicated
In places where it has gained a foothold
than the Chinese themselves So long as
the Chinese confined their buying and sell
Ing operations to their own women the
subject did not present such on acute i'm
terest for the rest of the world.
But, unfortunately, the Chinaman is
awakening to the superiority OF foreign
productions over his own native article.
Chinese are now endeavoring i'm all parts
of the world to which they migrate to con-
tract temporary marriages with white
women, and If, when the time comes TO
return to China, 1t is not elected to desert
both family and wife, the unfortunate
dupe, who has perhaps thought she en-
tered into perfectly legal union, is pro-
vailed upon to accompany her lord to
China, she will have to take the place of
third or fourth wife--i. G., a marketable
and prosecuted concubine--in a native
establishment. Some very lamentable oc-
currcnces Of this kind have been brought
to notice in late years. To the woman
who contracts union with a Chinaman
who has left his country an nlult, the
chances arc almost sure that she takes up
with one who has already u wife or two.

uow wealth Tries to Make Assurance
Doubly Sure-LocIxs and Safes.

Doubly sure-LocIxs and Safes.
It is a long way, in fact, from the
simple contrivances of classic times for
protecting ready wealth to the Golfers
and money chests, the secret drawers
and guarded treasures Of Florence and
Venice. And from them it is still q
longer one through the clumsy safes and
rude locks OF the last century to the pres
ent almost perfect treasure vaults, proof
against fire or food, against both sharp
edged tools and any charges of powder or
dynamite that burglar may safely use.
The present safety vault has of course
grown out of the old safe, and is really
only perfected modern bank safe on an
enlarged plan. The average safe is an
iron and steel box, some four 10 six feet
in height by four feet in breadth and
depth. 1t has a thick door, made in half
a dozen layers of unequal size, heavily
bolted together, and opens by q combina-
ton of movements on an exterior knob.
The safe deposit vault is another big
box, also of steel and iron, some ten feet
in height and twelve feet in length, built
in, like prisoners cell, with heavy
wall of brick, mortar and cement, and
ness into larger room which contains it.
All that ingenuity can do has been done
to make the body Of the vault impregna-
bic and to put the secret of the intricate
lock beyond chance of guessing. The
cell inside is lined with drawers and
boxes, each locked aAd bolted. The
whole thing is a safe within safe, max.
ing assurance doubly sure at but slightly
higher rates for nervous and cautious de.
positors.
Safe deposit vaults are buiR by only
few of the large safe makers. The metal
used for the walls of the vault is a mix
ture of iron and steel, melted together at
high heat and tempered throughout as
finely and evenly as possible. The result
is homogeneous, almost flawless sur
face, which defies alike the burglars
tools or the flames of a big fire. A wall
three inches ia thickness is laid on in
plates with heavy bolts of the same ma
terial, and the whole side is then shut in
with a stout covering of fire proof brick
and finely mixed cement. Particular
care, of course, is taken with the door,
which is the only paat exposed after the
outer wall is built. The plates are doubled,
braced and re-braced, of various sizes ac-
cording to the layers, over tapping and
falling short, but all so piled and blended
together that while one holds all will
hold and the treasures within will still be
safe. The lock combination is made so
intricate, too, that it needs one man s
mind working all the time to keep up
with it.
The demand for vaults is comparatively
small now, but the makers agree that
there will be large increase in the
number used before ten years pass.
People are just beginning to realize what
mental relief it is to have ones valuables
absolutely secure from accidentDr theft.
and that comfortable feeling is sure to
spread even if it entails the building of
costlier safety vaults than those we have
now.-New York Tribune.

Looking Through the Telescope.

In regard to planets, we must remember
| that telescope does not give US a bird S
eye view. We see the nearest planet only
| as an orb in which all such details as on
| our earth belong TO continents are abso-
| lutely lost. Mars, the planet most IA
| vorably seen. presents continents, oceans,
| ice patches and such cloud masses as ex-
tend far enough TO cover those larger fea-
| lures from time to time. But we cannot
hope to see rivers or mountain ranges on
the ruddy planet.
know not, indeed. what to say about
certain markings which Sig. Schiaparelli,
of Milan. and recently II. Perrotin, of
Nice, think they have seen. They are
straight broad bands running across the
continents, and lately Sciaparelli has seen
them doubl.d
If they are canals they are enormously
broad, certainly twenty times wider than
the Mississippi at ST Louis. They look
too regular and straight, as Schiapareli
pictures them to he natural formations;
and if he is right about their being double
they must be artificial. The great Lick
telescope may tell us something about
these strange features; / must confess /
strongly expect that the telescope will tell
US that the parallel canals, if not the
whole set, are optical illusions. II is, at
any rate. worth remarking that they have
only as yet been seen with telescopes Of
moderate power and when the planet is
unfavorably placed for observation
